Located on the south-west shores of Lake Victoria, tiny Rubondo Island National Park includes Rubondo Island and several other small islands on Lake Victoria. The park boasts a rich and diverse variety of butterflies and bird life, easily viewable from the lake shore.
The rare Sitatunga, an extremely endangered amphibious antelope, can sometimes be seen escaping charging predators by hiding and camouflaging itself in the lake shore marshes. Sitatunga have a water-proof coat which is dark brown in males and reddish brown in females. Both sexes have white stripes and spots as well as white splotches on their faces. Their hooves are long and thin to deal with the Sitatunga's swampy habitat. Males have a mane as well as horns, which are twisted and can reach almost a metre in length.
